[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 4736808, member: 53980"] I would suggest in the above case to have Wild Shape grant a man-beast form. At will Wild Shape that can be used outside of combat with indefinite duration, but good luck escaping the notice of the goblin guard when you resemble a werestag. Nearly worthless? Wild Shape in this case is an instant disguise! I doubt many DMs would allow a normally dressed halfling rogue to Bluff people into seeing him as a dog (I wouldn't). Wild Shape plus a successful Bluff check equals "just a harmless old hound". It simply isn't an automatic "I win" button for scouting encounters and the like. "Not an automatic I win" does not translate to "worthless" as far as I'm concerned. IMO, it should be approached like any potential houserule. 1) Identify the core problem. Be specific in identifying your concerns. 2) Try to use the least invasive solution to fix the problem(s). A "fix" that breaks more than it fixes is not a good fix. Neither is one that makes whatever you are trying to fix unappealing or uninteresting. [/QUOTE]
